Exploring the Mysteries of Mount Ijen
Mount Ijen, situated in East Java, Indonesia, is a captivating destination renowned for its mesmerizing landscapes and unique natural phenomena. At the heart of this volcanic wonder lies the breathtaking Ijen Crater, a turquoise lake that shimmers against a backdrop of rugged terrain. What sets Ijen apart is its ethereal blue fire, a rare occurrence caused by ignited sulfuric gases emerging from the crater, creating a surreal nocturnal spectacle. Adventurous souls embark on a challenging trek to witness the otherworldly beauty, guided by the allure of the crater's vibrant hues. The journey unveils panoramas of lush forests and panoramic views, providing a sensory feast for nature enthusiasts. Beyond its scenic charm, Mount Ijen offers a glimpse into the lives of local sulfur miners, whose laborious work in extracting sulfur from the depths adds a poignant layer to the mountain's narrative. Mount Ijen, with its blend of natural wonders and cultural richness, stands as a testament to the awe-inspiring diversity of our planet's landscapes.#freehotelstay #Surabaya #indonesia #Hiking #Mountijen #bluefire #Volcano
Best Fluffy Pancakes in Pakuwon Mall
#2024wish #pancakes #pakuwonmall #cafe #surabaya
We were very excited when this café opened in Pakuwon Mall, just a step away from our Airbnb. What's amazing here is that you can enjoy fluffy, jiggling pancakes, similar to the famous Flipper's, at just half or even one-third of the price. The pancakes are really fluffy and not too sweet; you can adjust the sweetness by adding syrup or other toppings like ice cream.
What we love about Pan&Co is that you will be spoiled for choice. There are plenty of options from sweet to savory, including bubble tea drinks and a Western menu with items like pasta and hamburg steak. The place is very cozy too. The only downside was that food preparations could be improved; it took them 45 minutes to prepare the hamburg steak, but it's understandable as they're newly opened.
My wish for 2024 is to savor the best fluffy pancakes in Tokyo.
Address - Pakuwon Mall, Lontar, Kec. Sambikerep, Surabaya, Jawa Timur 60216

The Funkiest Ramen Place in Surabaya
#freehotelstay
Perhaps, this is the funkiest ramen place I've ever visited. ULTRAMEN recently opened at Galaxy Mall Surabaya, and the place has already become the talk of the town – and I can see why. The comic aesthetics combined with the Japanese pop icon, Ultraman, have become their selling point. The ramen itself was nearly perfect for my liking. Al dente noodles with a thick chicken broth are simply delicious, and their roasted chicken was very tender too. The place was kind of crowded during the weekend, but we didn't have to wait long to get seated.

Fancy Resto with the Widest Menu EVER
This is Carnaby in Ciputra World Mall, Surabaya. The place was pretty comfy and homey. They had unique windows with LCD screens that show beautiful "outside" videos such as snow, rain, beach, etc. There was also an artificial fireplace that warmed up the room's vibe.
They had so much menu, from Western, Indonesian, Asian, Indian, Middle East, Italian, European, American, etc. Even their menu book had so many pages.
Their food's taste was excellent. Me and my family loved everything that we ordered. Although the prices weren't cheap, it was worth everything that we got, and the service as well.
Carnaby also has several other branches in Surabaya: at Galaxy Mall, Tunjungan Plaza, and also Pakuwon Mall.
Go try, we had a great time there!

Coffee atmosphere in the garden
⠀
I never thought that in the Jemursari area there would be a coffee shop with a garden concept like this. The location is a bit hidden gem, precisely on Jln. Jemursari Selatan IV. This place is in a big house whose courtyard/garden has been converted into a coffeeshop. The combination of garden chairs and leaves creates natural and very comfortable vibes.
⠀
The menu itself turns out to be diverse ranging from various drinks, snacks to heavy meals. Because it's basically a coffeeshop, of course there are lots of coffee menus here that you can try. I tried their signature Midnight in Paris, a coffee mocktail with a citrus flavor and a touch of bitter which is super addictive. It's really suitable for hanging out in the afternoon with your friends here.

Hanging out while hunting dusk.
⠀
A coffee shop in the rooftop area which is located in the middle of the city, on Jalan Indragiri te precise and very close to Sutos. To get here, you have to climb 3 stairs to the rooftop area. You will get a view of Thor's field and the city of Surabaya from above.
⠀
The place is really spacious and well organized. The design itself combines wooden ornaments, exposed concrete and lots of plants in every corner. There are semi-outdoor and indoor spaces too, so don't worry if it rains. The original place is perfect for those of you who like to hang out in the afternoon.
⠀
They prepare a lot of menus from snacks, various drinks to heavy meals. It's really cool to enjoy a rooftop atmosphere like this while hunting for dusk. During the fasting month they prepare an iftar menu, so you can do ngabuburit or bukber here.

Warm Atmosphere at Mr. Fox Surabaya 📸
First time trying this famous Mr. Fox at Tunjungan Plaza 5 Surabaya. I know that the prices are expensive here, so my husband and I didn't buy any food (we already ate), just some drinks.
I bought Sarsaparilla and he bought Chrysanthemum. Both were mocktails. And we both agreed that the drinks were worth the price (50k each). It was so unique and refreshing, like we've never tasted before.
The band was good! They chose the right songs and sang&played them perfectly. Brought the right mood to the place.
Nice experience ❤️

Lagoon Avenue Mall Sunset
Went to Lagoon Avenue Mall, the new mall in Surabaya that got Kidzania at the top level. It was still empty, not many stores were open. Mostly just F&Bs and non-permanent stores that sell clothes or shoes.
But boy the view on the backside of the mall was beautiful in the afternoon. They got a pretty wide grassfield and ponds, and there were people having a picnic at the grass. And you can watch as the bright orange sky turns darker every minute.
I didn't buy anything there, but the view was worth the parking fee.

🌄Sunset at Domestico Waru
Been wanting to go visit this place, as I thought it was close to my home (turns out it wasn't, and the roads had so many potholes). The cafe area wasn't as big as the photos.
The drinks weren't that good, either, and there were many ants on the cashier table as well as our table.
But hey, at least we got ✨nice photos✨ of the sunset with airplanes passing by after their take off (because this place was near the airport). The ambience was also calm and quiet, because there weren't many things around. Worth to visit only if you happen to be near this place.

Going Inside the Submarine in Monkasel
This submarine was a Russian Submarine, whiskey class. I was told there are so few submarine museums like this in the world, where you can actually go inside and take photos.
It was cold inside, because they had installed many aircons, but older people or a big person may have difficulties to move along the rooms inside the submarine, as its doors were circular and maybe just as wide as ±120cm.
But it was so amazing, I imagined how it would feel to be the people going to war inside this submarine, underwater for days. You can also see the very big cannons there (empty shells). So cool.

A tourist spot for photo 📸
The place is so colorful. The pedestrian is clean. The villagers are friendly. So many instagramable spot can be found here. I came here in the afternoon after 3PM local time. The weather is not too hot. The sun lights give you perfect shot.
I also spotted some foreign tourist here and using drone to take pictures or videos.
The entrance fee is IDR 3000 per person.
I reccomend you to buy some snacks or souvenirs to support the villagers as well.#jodipan #surabaya #malangeastjava
Da Best experience!Bromo and Ijen Hiking
Must do trip if around East Java. Easily find tours or drivers from Surabaya, transfer to a jeep to take you up for a breathtaking sunrise on the magnificent peaks of Bromo and neighbouring volcanos.
Get ready for an overnight drive, weather the morning cold temperatures (check online per season) but DRESS ADEQUATELY. Be rewarded with the exhillirating sunrise panorama. Photographers will also be rewarded with a sky full of stars just before sunrise.
Jeep tours also will take you down into the crater to walk the moonscape of volcanic ash as well as climb the steps to the Bromo crater. Worth for this trip!#bromotengger #ijen #surabaya
“Kawa Ijen”, climbing a volcano at night
“Kawa Ijen” Smelling sulfur, Climbing the volcano at night To see the blue flames and the blue lake
After going to Mount Bromo and walking back from the waterfall in the rain, we continued to another volcano that we couldn’t miss, “Kawa Ijen Volcano”. We spent another 4 hours traveling to our accommodation. We arrived at the accommodation at around 5 pm. But the guide said, “See you at 11:30 pm.” OMG, we barely had a break. From there, we went to here. This trip was really tough.
When the guide picked us up, we traveled for another 1-2 hours and arrived at the starting point to walk up the volcano. The weather was quite cold. We walked up the mountain at 1 am. We walked on a normal slope. We didn’t climb anything. We walked for about 3 hours to reach the crater before we went down to the valley below. The first equipment we need is a gas mask because we will smell sulfur the whole way. The lower we walk, the stronger the smell becomes until it makes it difficult to breathe. And if there is wind, the sulfur dust will increase, making breathing difficult.
Walking down the crater at night is not easy. It's all rocks, narrow paths, rock slides, and it gets harder when people walk up. Everyone should be very careful when walking in this kind of place because if you make a mistake, it can cause a minor to serious accident. And when we got to the bottom, we got to see the burning of sulfur, burning at a very high temperature until it became a blue flame.
.
The smell of sulfur floating around the crater of the volcano indicates that in addition to the blue flames that tourists come to experience, this place is also like a sulfur ore that produces hundreds of kilograms of sulfur every day. That is the origin of one of the riskiest and most dangerous occupations for health, which is the porter occupation. No matter how dangerous it is, porters have to dig up sulfur and carry 80-90 kilograms of sulfur to sell at a price that many people may think is not worth the risk. I want everyone to go "Prove your fitness, conquer Kawah Ijen in Indonesia" so that you will know that we are not very good, but our bodies and minds are very strong. Try going on an adventure, gain experience, and test the hardships. We think that "you will like this kind of travel. Just like we are fascinated and in love with this kind of endless adventure.”

food addict let's closer to Taste Van Java
#passionpassport
Taste van java restaurant is one of our favorite places to eat while on vacation to Surabaya as the city of heroes. The location is inside the Tunjungan Plaza mall on the 5th floor. The place is very clean and comfortable. We have tried a wide variety of Indonesian dishes on the menu. this time we ordered grilled squid, fragrant pandan chicken, and grilled ribs and very very delicious. The staff is also friendly, the presentation of the dishes does not have to wait long. The taste of the food hasn't changed one bit. it's very highly recommended while you visiting Surabaya. #foodie #surabaya #staycation
Hotel Majapahit Surabaya
This hotel design reminds me of the Raffles hotel in Singapore. Built-in 1910, the hotel is a historic hotel with a national pride, where there was a history of revolution between the Indonesian nationalist movement with British troops and the Dutch colonial era.
The atmosphere is like traveling back to the past, to the colonial era in the 1940s. The tile's design, the decor, the bed room, the furniture and the memorial items are well maintained. I love the garden and the landscape, it is so beautiful and charming.
The best location in the heart of Surabaya city, within short walking distance to Tunjungan Plaza, one of the most famous malls in Surabaya.
Two restaurants inside the hotel and a cozy pub with English vibes. Outdoor swiming pool , gym, spa and sauna.
There has been changed several times for the names and management in the past, the Accor manage the currrent management.

Besides coffee, there are also some light refreshment for tea time and other meals. It's similar like in Singapore except that this is more localised. Very sweet dessert, maybe because Javanese people love sweet stuffs. Not bad for tea break pair with bitter coffee.
